Music Composition Lessons for Adults in San Antonio

Think music composition is just for kids? Think again! At Sage Music, 63.8% of our students are adults.

Whether you’re pursuing a professional career or have always just dreamed of writing your own music, you’ve come to the right place.

Our students range from complete beginners to intermediate composers to advanced musicians deepening their skillset.

No matter what your goals are, Sage Music in San Antonio can help you achieve them.

Beginner Adult Music Composition Lessons

Passionate about music but new to composition? Many of our students who feel inspired to write their own songs often find it overwhelming without proper guidance.

Our beginner lessons introduce you to essential theory and foundational techniques, giving you the tools to start composing with confidence. Before you know it, you’ll be creating beautiful music you’re proud of.

Intermediate Adult Composition Lessons

Once you’ve mastered the basics, we’ll help you refine your skills by focusing on musical form, dramatic structure, and techniques that make your compositions more dynamic and cohesive.

In our advanced lessons, we’ll support you as you make strides toward larger creative goals. Whether it’s mastering orchestration, improving pacing, or developing advanced compositional techniques, Sage Music provides the tools to elevate your music to a professional level.

Composition Lessons for Kids in San Antonio

Inspire your child’s creativity in a fun and engaging environment

Just like you, we want to see your child enjoy music, have fun, and develop into a well-rounded, capable person. We also understand that as a busy parent, you need a program you can trust to work with your schedule.

That’s why we designed our Arpeggio® lesson system with versatility in mind. Programs like Suzuki, ABRSM, or the Royal Conservatory provide a list of songs to follow, but our system focuses on developing your child’s skills so they can eventually create and compose any music they imagine. That’s true growth and real learning.

Keeping You In The Loop

Our system ensures you can track your child’s progress through detailed weekly notes. Additionally, they will have opportunities to showcase their creativity by participating in our student sharing hour, open mics, or regular recitals. These events provide visible results that inspire confidence and feelings of self-empowerment.

Beginner Child Music Composition Lessons

The imagination of a child is boundless, and our beginner composition lessons focus on nurturing that creativity. At the same time, we provide the structure and fundamental theory needed to help them start composing music with confidence.

Intermediate Child Composition Lessons

Once your child begins creating their own music, the next step is mastering more complicated techniques and rules. This includes learning about the sounds and ranges of instruments, musical forms, and other important skills that will further refine their compositions.

Advanced Child Music Composition Lessons

Did you know the creative industry surpasses the automotive industry in size? Composers often lead the way in this field, generating a steady income through licensing. We provide expert guidance to children who aspire to become professional composers, preparing them for conservatories, college admissions, or the process of building a professional portfolio.

Contact us today for personalized advice on the programs and pricing options that best suit your needs.

The Problem With Other Programs

Many of our students come to us after taking lessons from suboptimal providers. They tried online courses or apps, like YouTube, Suzuki, and TakeLessons, which lack true personalization. Either that or they worked with instructors who didn’t have genuine teaching experience.

As a result, these students were unable to achieve the kind of progress they wanted. Many felt frustrated during sessions, or by videos they paid for, because they still had to essentially teach themselves. Their instructors might have shown them what to do, but not the optimal way to do it, leading to wasted effort, lost time, and unnecessary expense.

Don’t give up on your love for music! The good news is that you’ve found the best program for learning music in a reliable and science-backed way. Our Arpeggio® lesson system, created right here at Sage Music®, is designed to ensure your success.

Different Music Composition Lesson Types

Not all composition lessons are alike. Each musical style comes with its own techniques and considerations. Some focus on vocal writing, others on improvisation, and some involve advanced orchestration.

Private Composition Lessons

All of our composition lessons are carried out in a private, one-on-one format. This is done intentionally. We believe that personalized feedback is essential for developing your unique voice as a composer. Group classes simply can’t provide this level of careful, individual attention.

Classical Composition Lessons

If you're inspired by the works of Mozart, Brahms, Schoenberg, or Reich, this is the path for you. Whether you want to explore complex music theory, embrace current post-modern trends, or craft your own signature style, we’ll guide you every step of the way through classical composition.

Jazz Composition Lessons

Jazz composition demands a strong grasp of theory and improvisation so that your work will make sense for the performers. We’ll teach you everything you need to know to write within this highly flexible and spontaneous genre and compose breathtaking jazz pieces.

Songwriting Lessons

While many people don’t associate songwriting with traditional composition, it is just another unique branch of the art form. Our songwriting classes place less emphasis on music theory, focusing more on structure, clarity, and meaningful lyrics. You'll also learn how to arrange your songs for voice, guitar, piano, or even a full band arrangement.

Our Music Composition Teachers

When you work with our teachers, you or your child will make faster progress toward your goals, with less time and less effort. Your friends and family will notice the difference. You will be playing the music you want, having fun, and sounding great in no time.

Why? We take a different approach. We hire skilled musicians who are passionate about teaching as employees - not contractors, as most schools do. We train them in the best techniques for learning and teaching music, using our proven, science-backed Arpeggio® lesson framework. The result: you will enjoy playing any music with confidence and ease.

The staff are excellent musicians and love teaching. I highly recommend this school.

Laura Z

I'm happy to have found a school that teaches in in person and online lessons for multiple instruments, voice, composition, etc. All the teachers and staff are great. I've come to Sage music to learn Jazz piano along with other instruments. My teacher Isaiah is very talented and someone I hope to play like someday. I love the individual lessons, and studio classes where you can learn other instruments or brush up more on your current instrument at no additional cost. The staff is also very helpful for questions and concerns. The school building is a beautiful renovated old house with plenty of music rooms. Staff and teachers always dress nice too. They also have a website and dashboard for students to choose lessons, communicate, and read teacher notes. I think there is one area for improvement. I'd like to maximize as much hands-on practice as possible. I'd like to suggest less time spent during class for goal setting and to utilize the website to provide resources and give homework, and save class time. Other than that, I'm very happy to be here and I know I'll be an even better musician with the lessons I'm getting. I recommend giving them a try!

Benjamin Alvarez

Thank you Isaiah for allowing my little one to feel comfortable even when she is doubting herself and for giving her the tools to believe in herself.
